That blue colored, old, man-eat-ing Billy Goat, which is probably an escaped African hyena in disguise, still roams defiant through the streets, seeking whom he may devour, in spite of the goat ordinance of the town fathers. It is probable that nothing less formidable than a well ariged sheriff’s posse da . a attempt his arrest. He is a bad old butter from way back.

A Mr. Hoffman, a blind man from Chicago, spoke in the court house last Monday evening to a rather slim audience. His speech was announced in the churches as simply the “Celebrated lecture entitled Wet or Dry;” but those who hearii it generally agree in calling it a political prohibition harangue. If a Republican or Democrat were to adopt that mean's of getting an audience the result would be a sized howl 1 all alcng the line.

The October term of the circuit court begins next week. The docket is unusually light. Miss Belle Barkley, of Barkley tp., is building a fine residence on her big farm.

Griffin, of Crown Point, the. eloquent and popular young candidate for Secretary of State, and Jasper county’s favorite candidate on the state ticket, is advertised to speak in Remington next week, on Tuesday evening.

Everyone is invited to attend and see one of the finest displays of millinery ever shown in Rensselaer. We learn that Bro.

We congratulate Brother Kitt, most heartily.

The Hon. I. D. Dunn, the true, tried and capable Representative in the state legislature, was in town yesterday.
